THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

FRUSTRATED SEDUCTION….



Amber, looked sideways at the Director of the Hold, with contempt and disdain, muttering between her teeth….

-They will all pay for the damage they did to me!

“Besides, to make those who killed my baby pay”, she thought, crossing her gaze with the director, without expressing it aloud, so as not to reveal more information in front of the implicated.

Later, she went to the Prosecutor’s Office to arrange the transfer of the detainee and assumed her defense, as she did in the previous case. Once the proceedings were carried out, she managed to free the detainee. Although she was released, she was not happy, since she did not know what the lawyer would do with the statement she signed.

For her part, Amber was not satisfied with these two written statements, but hired someone to help her find the other people involved, especially Mendoza.

In the meantime, Glenys Fontalvo, the director of the checkpoint called Christopher to inform him about Amber’s actions. In view of the fact that she was very attracted to him and looking for any excuse to see him, she invited him to come to her apartment, claiming that she had important information about him.

He, interested in everything that has to do with Amber, immediately accepted and came to her apartment. Obviously, he was received very warmly. She offered him a drink and invited him to the terrace where she had prepared a candlelight dinner for two.

The official in question had prepared a romantic atmosphere, ready to seduce her conquest. She played soft, romantic music. Christopher, deducing what she was looking for with him, thanked her for the invitation and initially played along.

-Thank you, my friend,” he mentioned, emphasizing the last word, clinking his glass with hers.

-I’ll always be there for whatever you want and need,” she replied seductively, moving closer and surprising him with a kiss that brushed his lips, without him doing anything to return the caress.

They had dinner, having a pleasant conversation, but when it was over, she approached him with other intentions.

-What did you think of the dinner? -she asked, putting her hands on his chest and purring like a cat. Then she leaned against Christopher’s chest and lifting her face, sought his lips.

-Dinner was divine. Otherwise, I’m sorry Glenys! -He commented, removing her hands from his chest and rejecting her clearly and manifestly, “If I had been attracted to you for a long time, I would have confessed it to you! Unfortunately, I only see you as a friend.

-Per-don’t you? -I don’t have to beg someone to be with me, I just thought…”, she expressed with arrogance and disgust. -making a brief pause, which was interrupted by Christopher.

-I want to make it clear to you, I have looked for the friend, only the friend -he stated, leaving her astonished by his reaction- To what she came for, -he demanded- What about Amber?

-She’s going to defend a detainee, in exchange for her testimony for the beating she was given,” she declared abruptly, hiding her anger for the obvious rejection he had just given her.

-How so? -asked the distrustful man.

-The detainee signed a written statement in which she expressed that two years ago she was paid to beat Amber Tovar, that the guard and a rich woman were the ones who hired her – she looked at him with distrust.

-Do you think I had something to do with that? -Christopher questioned, angry, perceiving that she distrusted him. “You look at me, as if you doubted me! I’m sorry, you think me capable of such an atrocity! -he said angrily.

-You called me! So that I would not allow her any benefit. And that was just at the moment she entered the checkpoint,” her friend accused him.

Christopher was agitated to see how she, who claims to be his friend, considers him capable of such cruelty. Most likely, this is how Amber must think of him. For this reason, it is in her best interest to know who is behind all this.

-At no time did I demand you to go over your obligations, I simply asked you not to grant him any benefit, that’s another thing,” he clarified, looking at her with disdain.

-It was because of your demand,” she accused, “that even though she had miscarried, I did not allow her transfer to a hospital. Because of com-pla-cer-te,” she spelled.

“Then! How can I not hesitate? -she questioned again.

“Besides, don’t I know how he will attack me? -she cried worriedly and angrily with an anxious look.

-That’s different! -He asserted, “What they did to her was a criminal act! You should have investigated and punished. That was your obligation, as was allowing her to be transferred. None of this has anything to do with what I asked you not to give her benefits,” he said again.

“I imagine that the inmate declared who paid her? With that, both you and she should have been cleared of doubts,” he said angrily.

-That’s right! -The prisoner confessed that it was Michelle Fontain! How’s that? Your friend and partner,” she reproached him, challenging him with her eyes.

-You still think it was me, FOR GOD’S SAKE, Glenys! -I swear, I had nothing to do with it! -He snarled looking at her with disdain.

“Now I withdraw, lest you suppose, that I can do anything to you,” he explained and walked out towards the exit. She ran after him, pulling him by the arm with a pleading look.

-I want you to understand me! I exposed myself for you, to please you, and I am very worried that with the fame she has acquired and the support she has from “men” of great power – emphasizing the word men, she added – they want to remove me from my position and worse, to involve me in this crime, for not having investigated.

-Why didn’t you investigate? I asked you to do it and to keep me informed,” he said, turning his angry face with an icy look towards her.

-For fear of the outcome, to cover up for you, I thought you were behind it all. Because of that, I didn’t order the investigation,” she exclaimed angrily and helplessly.

-And why do you claim that she has men of great power supporting her? What do you know? -he asked anxiously, hesitating.

-It is public and notorious that with the case of the tycoon’s children, she is now protected by him, as well as by the owners of the law firm where she works. That case generated high dividends for her, besides? -with a mocking smile.

-Besides what? -He interrupted violently angry, “finish talking, don’t play at riddles.

-Well, you must already know, she is Lugo’s partner or lover, the heir of Constructora Lugo,” she lied, “and apparently she also has a relationship with one of the lawyers of the same firm. Apparently, he is everyone’s entertainment, so they say,” she said, rolling her eyes.

-Are you sure? Everything you said,” he asked with a cold and contemptuous look, which made her take a step back, fearing some unfavorable reaction from him.

-It’s obvious! That some are helping her. If not, as you explain, that in just a few months after her release from prison she already has such a reputation as an “extraordinary lawyer”, whose title, even from my point of view, is dubious.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

-I think that’s your problem. You think and think too much! Without assuring you, or checking anything,” he affirmed, with a sinister look.

“When you have the evidence in your hands, make sure and even publish, if you wish. In the meantime, it is preferable that you keep quiet! To avoid more trouble,” he advised, reflecting on his own experience, precisely with Amber.

-Thank you for your advice! On the contrary, I’m sure of what I say, you’ll see! There’s no one worse blind than the one who doesn’t want to see,” she assured him, accompanying him to the door, disappointed in him.

-Thank you! For everything, especially for the excellent concept you have of me,” he clarified, looking at her with displeasure and rejection as he left his apartment…
